New federal funding opens door to major CO2 capture demonstration project in Saskatchewan

摘要

New funding announced in Saskatchewan's federal budget on February 26, means SaskPower may proceed with plans to develop one of the first and largest clean coal/carbon capture demonstration projects in the world. The 2008 federal budget includes 240 million dollars in new federal funding for a major carbon capture project in Saskatchewan, Canada. "This is a good day for Saskatchewan - for our economy and the environment," Crown Corporations Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. "Premier Wall has been working with Prime Minister Harper to move this important environmental project forward, and yesterday's federal funding announcement means that major planning work can begin."
